Your Skin, But Better: bareMinerals Brings Skincare And Makeup Together For An Everyday Glow

What is your everyday makeup routine could give you that fresh, glowing look while also caring for your skin? That is exactly what bareMinerals is bringing to the table with its mineral-powered complexion essentials, designed to hydrate, smooth, and enhance your natural beauty without covering it up.

Founded in 1995 by Leslie Blodgett, bareMinerals began with a simple idea: makeup could be good for your skin. After discovering loose minerals in a San Francisco shop. Blodgett set out to create an alternative to the harsh formulas commonly used at the time. Her vision introduced a new approach to mineral makeup, along with the brand’s famous promise, “Makeup So Pure You Can Sleep In It ™”.

Thirty years later, bareMinerals continues to follow its “More Than Makeup” philosophy, creating products that combine makeup with skincare benefits. From a hydrating primer to a lightweight tinted moisturizer and a natural-looking blush, the collection is all about letting your skin shine through.

Start With A Little Hydration And Glow

bareMinerals PRIME TIME® Hydrate & Glow Primer, RM163

Every good makeup look starts with a good base. The PRIME TIME Hydrate & Glow Primer is an ultra-light, serum-like formula that helps plump and hydrate the skin while adding a soft, health-looking glow.

Its mineral pigments help even out the appearance of skin tone, while the formula is designed to extend makeup wear for up to 24 hours. It also instantly boosts skin hydration by 42%, with continued plumping and hydrating benefits over time.

 

The primer contains Apple Extract, which helps smooth and plump the look of skin, and Luminous Micas, which add brightness and a natural glow across different skin tones.

It is also vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free, making it a skincare-inspired first step before applying makeup.

The Tinted Moisturiser For Effortless Everyday Coverage

bareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE® Tinted Moisturiser, RM195

For days when you want a little coverage without the feeling of wearing a full face of foundation, COMPLEXION RESCUE brings together three everyday essentials in one product: moisture, sun protection, and sheer-to-light coverage.

Named the number one tinted moisturiser in the U.S., it contains Hyaluronic Acid and broad-spectrum mineral SPF 30, offering 24-hour hydration while helping protect the skin from the sun.

Its lightweight formula helps even out skin tone and blur the appearance of imperfections, leaving a dewy, healthy-looking finish. Coverage can also be built up from sheer to light, depending on how much you prefer.

According to the brand, the formula is clinically proven to boost skin hydration by 215% in just one week.

The result is a simple everyday complexion that looks fresh and radiant while still allowing your natural skin to show. 

Set Your Makeup Without Losing That Natural Finish 

Once your base is in place, a little setting powder can help keep everything looking fresh.

bareMinerals’ soft-focus setting formula is designed to absorb excess oil and blur the appearance of imperfections, giving the skin a naturally airbrushed finish without leaving a flashback effect in photographs.

Created to work alongside bareMinerals foundation, it helps lock makeup in place without adding unnecessary weight to the skin.

The formula is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, vegan and cruelty-free. It is also talc-free and made without parabens, formaldehyde, gluten, synthetic fragrance and PEGs, among other ingredients.

It is a finishing step for anyone who wants their makeup to stay polished throughout the day without looking overly powdered. The setting powder is RM185.

Finish With A Fresh Flush of Colour

bareMiNERALS GEN NUDE ® Powder Blush, RM140

No everyday makeup look is complete without a little colour on the cheeks. The GEN NUDE Powder Blush adds a fresh flush with an ultra-silky, talc-free formula that blends easily into the skin.

The blush contains light-reflecting mineral pearls that help brighten and blur the complexion. Its buildable formula allows you to go from a soft hint of colour to a more noticeable blush look with shades designed to complement different skin tones.

Each ingredient plays a role in the finish. Mica adds a natural-looking shimmer, Silica helps smooth and blur the skin, Iron Oxides provide colour and coverage, while Titanium Dioxide helps brighten the complexion.

Designed for all-day wear without fading, the blush is also made to feel light and comfortable. In a consumer study, 100% of participants agreed that it was easy to apply and blend, while 100% said it felt weightless on their skin.

The demantologist-tested and hypoallergenic formula is made without parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic fragrance, gluten, PEGs, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, coal tar and microbeads.

Less Covering Up, More Showing Off Your Natural Beauty

At the heart of bareMinerals is its Bare Essentials philosophy, which focuses on removing unnecessary ingredients and creating mineral-powered makeup that works with the skin.

Its Bare Your Beauty™ message also encourages women to embrace their natural features and feel confident in what makes them unique.

Whether you prefer a quick tinted moisturiser before heading out or a complete routine with primer, powder, and blush, bareMinerals offers a way to create a fresh, glowing complexion without hiding your natural beauty.

The bareMinerals complexion essentials are available on Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora. For more information visit bareMinerals official website, or follow bareMinerals on Instagram

TWICE’s TZUYU Is Bringing K-Pop, Formula 1, And Anime Together With A New Theme Song

K-pop, Formula 1 and anime in one collaboration? Now that it is a crossover worth getting excited about!

TWICE’s TZUYU has been announced as the voice behind the official theme song for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team x DAN DA DAN collaboration, bringing her signature vocals to a project that combines the excitement of motorsport with the supernatural world of anime.

The song and its accompanying music video are set to be released in early 2027, ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. But fans will not have to wait until then to see  TZUYU  become part of the action as she is also heading to Singapore to celebrate the collaboration with Williams.

From The K-pop Stage To The Formula 1 Track

Known for her performance with TWICE and her growing identity as a solo artist,  TZUYU is taking on a new musical project that brings together three very different worlds.

Her upcoming theme song will celebrate the raw speed of Williams and the supernatural power of DAN DA DAN, creating a musical connection between racing, anime, and K-pop.

Speaking about the collaboration,  TZUYU shared her excitement about being part of the project. 

“I am truly honoured and excited to be part of this collaboration with Atlassian Williams F1 Team and DAN DA DAN, and to perform the official theme song. Bringing together the worlds of Formula 1, anime, and music makes this project unique, and I believe this collaboration will deliver something truly exciting and memorable for audiences worldwide.

Williams is equally excited to have her on board. Luke Timmins, Merchandise and Licensing Director at Atlassian Williams F1 Team, said TZUYU was the voice they had imagined for a collaboration celebrating supernatural speed.

He also shared that her involvement offers another opportunity for the team to reach millions of new fans beyond Formula 1.

TZUYU Is Heading To The Singapore Grand Prix

Before the song officially arrives, fans can look forward to seeing TZUYU join Williams at the Singapore Grand Prix in October 2026 to celebrate the collaboration.

The race weekend will feature special activities at Atlassian William F1 Team Fan Zone presented by Kraken, giving visitors the chance to explore the world of Williams x DAN DA DAN.

There will also be new exclusive fan merchandise featuring Kokone, an anomaly from TZUYU’s journey into the world of speed and the supernatural. Fans will be able to shop for exclusive merchandise online through the Fan Zone as well.

For fans of TWICE, anime, and motorsport, the Singapore event brings all three interest together in one place.

A Collaboration That Started At The Japanese Grand Prix

The partnership between Williams and DAN DA DAN first launched at the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, bringing together the nine-time Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship-winning team and one of the world’s biggest anime properties.

Since then, the collaboration has introduced Sector Zero, an exclusive fan platform, released special merchandise and welcomed fans at the LA Anime Expo earlier this summer.

With TZUYU now joining the project, the collaboration is expanding beyond racing and anime into the world of music.

Hiroshi Kamei, producer of the DAN DA DAN TV anime, said the project gives the series an opportunity to explore something new beyond anime. He hopes that combining the energy of DAN DA DAN with Formula 1 and music will introduce the series to even more people around the world.

Meanwhile, Sayako Niimi, Director of Lead Global Partnership at Sector Zero, described TZUYU’S voice as the heartbeat of the collaboration. She shared that what began as an unexpected meeting between F1 and anime is now growing into a bigger project that connects communities across different cultures.

The Countdown To 2027 Begins

With TZUYU taking the lead on the official theme song, Williams x DAN DA DAN is preparing to enter its next chapter.

The upcoming track and music video are scheduled for release in early 2027, ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, while the Singapore Grand Prix celebrations will give fans an early taste of what the collaboration has planned.

From the racetrack to the anime world and now the recording studio, this is one crossover bringing three fan communities together.

Sabrina Carpenter And Margaret Qualley Are Joining Tom Holland’s Fred Astaire Biopic

Tom Holland has officially found his dance partners. Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley are joining him in Sony Pictures upcoming, yet-to-be-titled Fred Astaire biopic, bringing together quite the trio for a film centred around one of Hollywood’s most famous dancers.

Tom will play Fred Astaire, while Qualley takes on the role of his older sister and original dance partner, Adele Astaire. Sabrina will step into the shoes of Ginger Rogers, the actress and dancer who became one of Fred’s most famous screen partners.

And yes, with Sabrina playing Ginger Rogers and Tom Holland planning to do his own dancing, this could be one stylish trip back to Hollywood’s golden age.

Before Ginger Rogers, There Was Adele Astaire

While Fred Astaire is widely remembered for his Hollywood career, and his partnership with Ginger Rogers, the upcoming film will also put a spotlight on the important role his sister played in his early life.

Fred and Adele Astaire were major stars on Broadway and London’s West End, performing together before Fred went on to become one of cinema’s biggest musical stars.

Director Paul King, known for Paddington, said he was honoured to tell the story of Fred and his “original dance partner” Adele.

King also pointed out that while Fred’s dancing with Ginger Rogers lives on through film, no footage of Adele dancing survives, making the task of bringing her work back to life on screen particularly meaningful.

Qualley comes to the role after earning major recognition for projects including The Substance, Maid, and Fosse/Verdon.

Sabrina Carpenter Is Stepping Into Ginger Rogers’ Dancing Shoes

Sabrina will portray Ginger Rogers, who starred alongside Fred Astraire in several classic films.

Their famous collaborations included Swing Time (1936), The Gay Divorcee (1934) and Top Hat (1935).

Sabrina may currently be one of music’s biggest names, with two Grammys and millions of records sold, but she is no stranger to acting. Her previous film credits include Work It and The Hate U Give.

Fred, meanwhile, had a career that lasted seven decades, appearing in more than 30 film musicals on top of his work on Broadway and the West End.

Tom Holland Is Heading Back To The Dance Studio

Tom Holland has actually been attached to the Fred Ashtaire project for five years, and things are now moving forward following his big 2026 summer with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey, the two highest-growing films of the year.

Now, he is trading superhero action for dance rehearsals. During a recent appearance on Good Morning America, Tom revealed, “I’m diving back into the dance studio.”

Image Source: Tomholland2013

The role also takes him back to his own stage roots. Before becoming Spider-Man, Tom played the title role in Billy Elliot the Musical on London’s West End from 2008 to 2010.

And he has an ambitious plan for the Fred Astraire film: he wants to perform all of the dancing himself without doubles. Tom has also said he hopes to film the dance sequences in single shots, similar to how Astaire’s performances were filmed.

The Astaire Family Is Supporting The Film

The film is being made with support from members of Fred Astaire’s family; his daughter, Ava Astaire McKenzie, said she was happy to support a project celebrating the careers and legacy of her father and aunt, who were among the biggest musical stars of their time.

Her son Tyler McKenzie is serving as a consultant and co-producer on the project. He said he believes the filmmaking team will bring Fred and Adele’s legacy to life for a new generation.

The screenplay is written by Paul King and Steven Levenson and is based on Kathleen Riley’s book The Astaires: Fred & Adele. Riley is also working on the projects as a script the story consultant.

A Major Team Is Behind The Film

Tom is not only starring in the movie but also producing through his Billy17 banner.

Amy Pascal and Rachel O’Connor are producing for Pascal Pictures, alongside Ben Holden and Josh Hyams for Lightbulb Pictures. Executive producers including Harry Holland and Will South for Billy17, Will Clarke and Andy Mayson for Altitude Films, as well as Steven Levenson.

With Tom Holland as Fred Astaire, Margaret Qualley as Adele Astaire and Sabrina Carpenter as Ginger Rogers, the film will explore both the famous Hollywood partnership audiences remember and the sibling partnership that came before it.

And with Tom already back in dance rehearsals, it looks like the Fred Astaire story is finally getting ready to hit the floor.

Swift unveiled the video upon accepting the inaugural artist director honour. It stars Swift, alongside Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell — Johnson introduced Swift with the honour onstage.

The music video ends where it began, Johnson looking at a grave, only it’s now revealed that it’s Swift’s grave. The actress leaves a rose atop the gravestone for the woman.

“Patient Zero” is one of four new songs on the singer’s special deluxe edition of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl: Encore Edition. She released the new version of the album on Friday, which featured the other new songs “Babylon,” “Pink Clouding”, and “Cleveland!”

Charlie And the Chocolate Factory Is Coming to Malaysia for The First Time

Get ready to step inside Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory because Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factor is officially making its way to Malaysia for the very first time.

The Broadway musical will make its Selangor premiere at the Jeffrey Cheah Performing Arts Centre from 22nd December 2026 to 10th January 2027, bringing Roald Dahl’s much-loved story to life with music, larger-than-life characters, special effects and plenty of imagination.

Presented by Broadway International Group and Broadway Asia, in association with Sunway South Quay Sdn Bhd, the production arrives in Malaysia following a sold-out run at Shanghai Culture Square in November 2025.

Step Inside Willy Wonka’s Factory

Based on Roald Dahl’s famous novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory follows Charlie Bucket as he finds a golden ticket and enters the mysterious world of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Audiences can expect everything that makes Wonka’s world unforgettable from chocolate rivers and nut-sorting squirrels of the mischievous Oompa-Loompas. The production combines colorful visuals, music, and immersive elements to bring the factory to life on stage.

Fans of the classic 1971 film will also recognize songs including “Pure Imagination,” “The Candy Man” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket.” These are joined by original music from Grammy and Tony Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, known for their work on Hairspray and Mary Poppins Returns.

A Little Broadway Magic Is Coming to Selangor

This production is taking Wonka’s world even further with special effects and holagauze 3D technology, created around advanced magic techniques.

Producers and Broadway International Group and Broadway Asia co-owners Simone Genatt and Marc Routh described the production as a fantasy for audiences everywhere, adding that they are excited to share its themes of imagination and invention with Selangor audiences through a new immersive production created by an all-Broadway creative team.

Renowned Las Vegas magic and illusion designer Tim Clothier has also joined the Broadway team to transform the factory into a place where almost anything can happen on stage.

For Clothier, working on the production is especially fitting because as he puts it, “Willy Wonka is the king of imagination.”

From Broadway to Malaysia

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory first opened on Broadway in 2017, where it ran for more than 300 performances. This was followed by a four-year North American tour through 2022.

The musical has also appeared on London’s West End, where the production received two Olivier Awards.

Its current Global Tour is planned to run for two to three years across Asia, the Middle East and India, with cities including Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan, Taipei and Seoul among its stops.

The Team Bringing Wonka’s World to Life

The musical features music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, and a book by David Greig, based on Roald Dahl’s novel. Songs from the motion picture are by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.

The production includes original direction by four-time Tony Award-winning director Jack O’Brien and original choreography by Joshua Bergasse. For the Global Tour, Matt Lenz serves as director, with choreography by Alison Solomon and musical supervision by Nate Patten and Greg Jarrette.

The wider creative team includes Mark Thompson for set and costume design. Christine Peters for tour scenic design, Jeff Sugg for projections, Rory Beaton for lighting, Mile Thacker for Orbital Sound for sound design, Basil Twist for puppet design and Tim Clothier for illusions.

Orchestrations are by Doug Besterman, with musical arrangements by Marc Shaiman and casting by Paul Hardt Casting. Joseph Longthorne serves as General Manager, while Tayn Yeo is Associate Manager for Broadway Asia International.

The production is led by Simone Genatt, Marc Routh, Broadway International Group and Broadway Asia, alongside co-producers HY Culture Company, Doug Meyer Productions, Bergamot Front Row Fund and Willette Klausner. It is presented in special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) and Broadway Asia Company.

When and Where to Catch It

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will run at Jeffrey Cheah Performing Arts Centre in Selangor from 22nd December 2026 until 10th January 2027

Tickets are available through CloudJoi from 24th September via Jeffrey Cheah Performing Arts Centre’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory page.

Fans can also follow charlieglobaltour on Instagram for show and international tour updates, or visit Broadway Asia for more information.

For Malaysian fans who grew up with Charlie, Willy Wonka and those famous golden tickets, this is finally a chance to experience the chocolate factory live on stage!
